Throttle Controllers

[SillyKnot2]

Has anyone tryed to adjust the drag on their throttle controllers? I have a 98 370DA with the Teleflex/Morse throttle controllers and I noticed the starboard controller has become a bit stiff. I will check to make sure nothing has happened to the cable during the winterization process first. I took the cover off and noticed there are 3 set screws that must adjust something for each throttle. High end? Low end? Drag? Looked on-line but couldn't find a manual.

I have adjusted mine. I have the Mercruzer controllers to go with my Alphas.

It was easy to add a bit of drag, just a 1/4 turn of a set screw with a flat head screwdriver. Mine would not stay at 1000 rpm and would slip down to idle. At first I did them too tight, then I backed them down to get it just right.

Good luck!
